Rand, G M; Petrocelli, S R

This book provides information on the study of aquatic toxicology, including the transport, transformation, and biological effects of toxic substances in the aquatic environment. The book is intended to provide an understanding of the basic principles of complex aquatic-chemical interactions. Descriptions of the principles, methods, and procedures involved in acute, subchronic chronic aquatic toxicity testing studies, and methods of sublethal toxicity testing are included. The biological effects of metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, and inorganics are treated.
